Ultra-Fast Data and Media Management Controller

The 1200 SSD provides ultra-fast data access and delivers the speed and consistency needed for demanding enterprise storage and server applications. This drive helps reduce data access wait times and improve overall system performance under the most complex, write-intensive, mixed workloads. How?

Seagate-developed controller for media management optimization

Tight integration of the controller with Samsung NAND management technology

Multi-path I/O features help ensure high data availability with failover redundancy and no single point of failure

High signal integrity (low noise) makes it safer to use longer cables

Scalability—SAS supports more than 65K drive slots (via expanders)

Advanced SAS drive-level error correction to help ensure the integrity of data during the storage process

Proven enterprise feature set.

Leveraging decades of enterprise expertise, a proven feature set and manufacturing excellence, the 1200 SSD delivers some of the highest levels of data integrity, data security, device endurance, manageability, testing and support – everything you expect from Seagate.

Superior performance and integrated controller intelligence.

The Seagate 1200 SSD reduces storage bottlenecks and the performance gap between processor and data access. The Seagate media management controller uses algorithms that optimize performance for frequently-accessed data and detects sequential data and optimizes where it is stored.

12Gb/s SAS solid state drives.

The 1200 SSD doubles bandwidth with a 12Gb/s SAS while maintaining backwards compatibility. This helps to improve ROI by leveraging existing SAS infrastructures, a vast SAS ecosystem, and a proven SCSI command set.

This drive accommodates data growth by enabling easy infrastructure scalability. With many drive slots available, multiple storage devices can be added to a single enclosure. High signal integrity (low noise) makes it safer to use longer cables to attach multiple components.

12Gb/s SAS (backwards compatible with 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS)

Multi-path I/O features help ensure high data availability with failover redundancy and no single point of failure

Easy, plug and play storage

Scalability— SAS supports more than 65K drive slots (via expanders) unlike SATA which only supports up to 8 slots, or PCIe which supports up to 16 slots

Advanced SAS error-control capability enables more robust drive-level error correction to help ensure the integrity of data during the storage process

The benefits and appeal of server virtualization are becoming increasingly well-known and understood. According to VMware, 2013 marked the crossover point at which virtualized server deployments exceeded physical shipment of servers. As businesses look to the future, it’s clear that virtualization is here to stay.

After the advent of the Hyper-V version 3 hypervisor in Windows Server 2012, a steadily increasing portion of the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) world is being built upon Windows Server and Hyper-V. As always, performance of those VDI sessions is extremely critical, as well as the ability to scale up by loading ever-increasing numbers of VDI sessions onto each host server.We found that the Seagate 1200 SAS SSDs (Solid State Drives), in conjunction with Proximal Data AutoCache software, provides an extremely cost-effective way to improve performance and scalability of VDI solutions based on Hyper-V.
